He should form a team - the Vatican Cardinals, of course.

Is this real?
I forget that we finally have an America Pope.

He’s going to get ‘tons’ of attention from the general (secular) public.
Some, because of him being the ‘First’ American born Pope.
Some, because he may differ a bit with the late Pope Francis on certain issues.

I hope he bides his time and his duties, managing not to become overwhelmed with all the attention and requests for his time. You don’t have to accept every single request for an interview, at least not right away.

I’m watching Trump right now. It’s like diggin’ on na’ radio.
Lots of announcements while the main topic is health care and big pharmaceutical.

Btw-I earned $11k in the market as it opened up.

Eye roll

Blecchhh.

He needs to get to work re introducing humanae vitae. He can get to work getting my Irish Catholic relatives back to mass and out of lives of mortal sin

This makes me sick

I wonder if he can put in a good word for the White Sox?

He'll do an Apple Pie photo op next and buy a Chevrolet popemobile.

Then the "American" Pope will go to work trashing our real AMERICAN borders.

Why does this make you sick?

Someone gave him a baseball to sign on the receiving line after his audience with the press. I know he's Pope but he hasn't even been inaugurated yet.

Lighten up, Francis?

I agree but this was a general audience with the press and is standard after a new Pope is chosen.

They can play the Padres.

At least they aren’t as bad as the Rockies.

That can be a good thing. Or it can be a bad thing.

Time will tell.

Personally, I was hoping for an African or an Indian Pope. They're more likely to be conservative. The American Pope spent many years in Peru. So we'll see.

Yeah, not being Catholic I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but Robert Sarah was one I was hoping for.

Seems like he would have been the best choice. Which is why they did not pick him.

Jean Shepherd humorist:

“If I was going to storm a pillbox, going to sheer, utter, certain death, and the colonel said, ‘Shepherd, pick six guys,’ I’d pick six White Sox fans, because they have known death every day of their lives and it holds no terror for them.”
